The document summarizes the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant incident in March 2011. It describes the plant design, the progression of the accident following the earthquake and tsunami, radiological releases on and off site, and risks to the spent fuel pools. The earthquake caused a station blackout which led to a loss of cooling and partial meltdowns in reactors 1, 2, and 3 over subsequent days. Hydrogen explosions damaged some buildings but the reinforced concrete containment structures remained intact. Offsite releases were limited but led to short term evacuations within 20 km.
